Tut's Trumpet — Allie Burton

Her grandfather kidnapped. An ancient instrument of death in her hands. A warrior from the past determined to stop her. When sixteen-year-old Aria York loses her parents, she thinks nothing worse can happen. Then her grandfather is kidnapped by a mysterious Egyptian cult and she is being hunted by two competing sects. Both want King Tut's trumpet of war and will kill to obtain the legendary instrument. When Aria plays the magical trumpet she forgets her grief. Instead, triumph, greed and anger flow through her veins. When chaos erupts in San Francisco as a direct result, she realizes she must trust a tortured warrior even though he demands she hand over the trumpet or risk enveloping the world in war. Falcon comes from the past with a goal to save the future. He makes a deal with Aria to help save her grandfather, risking his quest by involving the girl and jeopardizing his heart. Aria wants to believe him, but knows there's something even bigger at stake. A secret so powerful neither teen understands the implications. As each precious hour passes, she's forced to ask: Is she playing the trumpet or is the trumpet playing her? "Tut's Trumpet is spellbinding, dark and furious as the chaos is unleashed and felt throughout. Fascinating reading with touches of myth, history, legends and more. Did I mention the magic of romance?"-Dii, Top 500 reviewer Other books in the series: Soul Slam, Peace Piper, Cleo's Curse
